Captain Marvel is a superhero who protects Fawcett City and a former member of the Justice League. Billy Batson is a young boy who by saying the magic word "SHAZAM" becomes the powerful and popular crime-fighter Captain Marvel.

Billy believes in fair play, taking people at their word and giving them the benefit of the doubt, an optimistic viewpoint that very often borders on naiveté (but then, he's still in grade school.) He attends C.C. Binder Elementary School.

Still coming into his own as a young superhero, Billy would strive to follow the example of his favorite hero: Superman. To his credit, Captain Marvel quickly became respected and admired, both in his home of Fawcett City and beyond. He was eventually extended an invitation to join the expanded Justice League.
